The trick I forgot about which Lou might end up using here to get Tedenby on the roster, if he doesn't want to send Larsson down, is the old 'IR the sh!tbag goon' play - Barch is already out of today's practice.

Evidently Barch has a groin issue.

Again, unless I'm missing something, there's a mountain of a molehill here. If there's a roster squeeze, and there's one of the borderline guys (Matteau, etc.) who turns out to play well, Janssen is the one heading down to Albany.

double bingo.

one of the 8 dmen will be traded unless an injury happens within the first 2 weeks of the season.janssen is getting sent down.barch will go on IR.mattaeu will go back to juniors unless he scores 10 goals in 4 games or injury.

I don't even think Lou has a plan here. Which defensemen could be dealt? It has to be Greene or Fayne, right? I can't see anyone else being dealt for a number of reasons. And those are two you don't really want to see go.

I just wish Janssen doesn't get into a single game this season and is sent to the minors, but clearly Lou believes in keeping him around and playing in rivalry games. It's quite a mess.

That's the "convenient" injury I was referring to... that is why in Lou-Land roster size is rarely a problem.

"Quite frankly, all the players are getting paid too much and all the contracts are too long," general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "But if you want to compete in this market and you want to win, there are some things you have to do."

No, but let's be honest - you can't have five defensemen making $3 million plus Harrold (locked into the #7/8 role) AND Larsson/Fayne. They do have to do something to alleviate that soon, and I don't mean a phantom injury or sending Larsson to the minors when Lou himself said he was going to play in the NHL this year. No phantom injury (or real one) is going to give us assets to improve our forward core.

I can see them starting the season with eight and showcasing guys until Henrique comes back, but one way or another this problem needs to be solved and can't be allowed to fester. Lou doing nothing about the Kovycap issues two years ago was at least part of the reason the team was so dreadful early (I know most of it was on the worst coach in history, but having that as a constant cloud didn't help).

I mean, Rolston got hurt in Game #3 and that ended those questions for at least a month, so I've always been a little skeptical on that front. There's really no reason to showcase anyone except perhaps the proof that either the defenseman in question or whoever Lou wants to deal for is in regular shape.
